Building today's children into tomorrow's leaders...

A revolutionary approach to education

Guided by the philosophy of Ghana's first president, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, People's School for Positive Education operates with the belief that the tools needed for African liberation lay in independent African philosophy, ideology and critical and creative thinking. The students here are taught to be critical thinkers, responsible leaders, and exceptional scholars.
